89. Global NCAP representative expressed its thanks to the UNECE Inland Transport Division and the UN Special Envoy for Road Safety for organizing the workshop in Buenos Aires (March 13-14) with Latin American governments to promote UN legal instruments to improve road safety in the region. He further highlighted that Global NCAP strongly encourages all countries from the region to become contracting parties to the 1958 and 1998 Agreements and apply the most important vehicle safety standards as per their recommended Road Map for Safer Vehicles 2020 including front and side impact and electronic stability control. One of the main conclusions from the Buenos Aires workshop was that Latin American governments were currently unable to run effective market surveillance programs to verify the compliance of local vehicles to the required regulations. For this reason, the Conformity of Production provisions included in the 1958 Agreement regulations were an attractive proposition. He addressed that it would also be very helpful if the World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations could promote the development of tools under the 1958 and 1998 Agreements aiming to group international regulations like front and side impact protection that combine key elements of both UN and US regulations. This could facilitate more engagement by counties from emerging markets in WP 29.
